What is recorded here

Ballymaginaghy holds a standing stone from the prehistoric dark, waiting for human hands to remember its purpose. The stone remains scheduled and unbroken while its exact age resists certainty. It may have marked a boundary, honoured a loss or guided people through unfamiliar country. Its endurance turns an uncertain fact into a living invitation to imagine the lost world that set it upright.

The official Northern Ireland record identifies this as STANDING STONE. Recorded period: PREHISTORIC; UNCERTAIN. Recorded protection: Scheduled. The official map point was placed at the centre of the recorded archaeological site from the source map reference.

Likely dating to the Neolithic or Bronze Age, this standing stone may have served a ceremonial, astronomical, or territorial function. No specific folklore or detailed meaning is recorded for this site.

The monument record does not grant public access. Check the route and ask the landowner before entering private land.
